Felicity made it a point to walk around aimlessly, trying to get herself lost in this huge building. She was nervous, she was terrified, and most of all, her emotions were all over the damn place. She understood what Loki was doing, just as he was willing to understand why she'd called Thor when she didn't know what else to do to protect him. She, however, couldn't understand why she felt like this. Love was not an emotion that she was good with, in fact, anything close to love in her past, she squashed like a small insect. She was biting her lip, almost chewing on it as she let her thoughts roll around in her head. She couldn't possibly be falling in love with him, right? He was so childish at times. She grumbled lightly out loud and shook her head. Nope, she wasn't going to think to hard about it. If she did, she'd ruin everything. Taking a deep breath, she swallowed hard and forcefully shoved her thoughts away.
“Felicity.”She heard a voice behind her say, and jumped, turning as she did so, to come face to face with Thor.
“Yes?”She asked, raising an eyebrow. Were they done talking things over?
“I understand your need to do more, but I will tell you this, you have done enough...you proved me wrong....men...and Gods...they can change.”He said to her.
“I don't understand what that has to do with anything.”She replied lightly, tilting her head.
“Loki is scared for your safety....please give him some peace of mind in this time of chaos.”
“Thor, it's not a matter of me not wanting to be safe, it's a matter of not wanting to feel helpless during all of this.”She said to him, trying to get him to understand where she was coming from at this point.
“You're not equipped for a battle such as this, however,”Thor said simply,”And I will not let something happen to you that could turn Loki against what is being done.”
“Look...I'm all about staying safe and staying alive...however...I can't just sit on my thumbs, I'm just as much a part of this as you or Loki is....so you should at least give me the chance to do something.”Felicity said,”That's all I'm asking for....is a chance.”
“I'm not sure there is anything....and that is not something that I can give permission for regardless, it isn't my decision.”
“Then who's is it....I'll talk to them.”Felicity replied, as she met his gaze for a moment.
“I'll take you to him.”Thor said simply.
“Thank you,”
Felicity made no hesitation in following Thor. She wasn't sure who she was going to speak to, however, she was determined to prove that she could do this without dying. She looked around, wondering what Loki was doing, was he still in a meeting with the others, or looking for her? Had he taken a moment to be alone? She paused for a moment. She was far to curious about the God. He had her attention, and she wasn't sure what to do with it.
A few minutes of walking lead into this small room with computers filling the wall from top to bottom, each screen having a different image on it. She paused when she saw the man with the eye patch. She glanced to Thor and gave a small nod of thanks before starting forward again.
“Anything I can help you with?”The man asked as she came to a stop a few feet from him.
“Yes...I don't like the idea of just standing on the sidelines, being helpless....you've got to give me something.”She said, not bothering to pussy foot around this.
“What do you think you can do?”
“I don't really care....I'll play medic if I have to....what do you think you can let me do?”
“How good are you at sneaking around?”He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Well...I don't know...pretty good at it when I want to be.”She answered honestly.
“I'm going to have you work with Black Widow....see if we can't find something you're good at.”He said to her,”However, I'm telling you this now, you're staying out of the worst part of it, I wont risk it.”
“Understood....I can handle that.”
“You might as well be able to, because that's the only option I'm giving you.”He replied, before holding his hand out,”My name is Nick Fury,”
“Felicity.”She replied, shaking his hand.
She seemed pleased with the outcome of her request, and it would be something that would ease Loki's fears. She wouldn't be in the worst of it, but she would still be helping. She could do that. She didn't mind at all. She wasn't looking to die, just not sit around like a kicked puppy. She knew that she was finished here, so she turned and started out of the room, wanting to find Loki and see what was going on with that end of things. She just hoped that in the end, he didn't change his mind. She wanted to be right, to prove that anyone could change if they wanted to. She was looking around, wondering how far he'd gone, or if he was just waiting for her someplace. She wasn't really sure. She was glad to not have to worry about being some sitting duck. Felicity would get with Black Widow later...or tomorrow morning. She'd have to wait and see how meeting up with Loki went.
Thoughts of last night danced through her head, and almost made her blush, though she'd look silly doing so, since no one knew what was going on. It had definitely been something else, and she wouldn't hesitate to do it again. With him. She could say that he had her attention, and with much clarity, was willing to accept that there was nothing she could do about it, not right now anyway. She took a deep breath as she came around a corner, not sure where she was at this point, and nearly ran Loki over. She let out a yelp of surprise and jumped back, as he reached out and grabbed her arms to steady her.
“Are you okay?”He asked, as he checked her over.
“Yes...just having a small heart attack, but completely okay otherwise.”She replied.
Loki let out a small laugh, a smile causing his whole face to turn up in a moment. Felicity thought his laugh was something else there for a moment, and her heart almost stopped as she smiled back at him. He took her hand and pulled her away from where they had been standing. She was curious as to where he was taking her, but wasn't going to ask. Right now, she was just enjoying her time with him, what was left of it before everything went to shit. Everything was falling into place, and that made her nervous. Why couldn't she be normal? Like and want to marry a normal person, why did it have to be a mischievous little shit that got her attention?
Another couple of minutes of walking, and he entered this room, which had a bed and some other things that made it possible to use and live in. He shut the door behind them, before turning to Felicity, his arms going around her for a moment, picking her up off the ground. He made no hesitation in letting his lips find hers. She was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly returned the kiss, wondering what this was all about.
He moved forward, before laying her down on the bed, bringing himself down over her, his hands resting on either side of her face. Felicity's heart was racing at this point. This was conflicting to say the least. Yes, there had been a few kisses stolen, and yes last night was something else, however, this whole thing had been one crazy moment after another. There was so much there that should have made her want to run, and at first it did, but she had seen more of him, more of his heart, then she was sure anyone had. He wasn't all that he was made out to be. Not even close. They referred to him as the bad guy, that wasn't true, he was the anti-hero, the one you wanted to hate and cheer on at the same time. The one that could change his motives, his actions, at any point, and make you change how you feel about him.
“Felicity...I wont let anything happen to you, you know that don't you?”Loki spoke after a moment, breaking Felicity from her thoughts.
“I know this.”She replied as she opened her eyes and looked up at him.
“We'll make it through this in one piece.”He said, his voice giving away that he was actually confident in this and not just trying to comfort her.
“I know.”She said once again, her voice barely a whisper,”We have to....for each others sanity...we have to.”
Loki nodded before leaning down to kiss her again. She nearly choked on her heart there for a moment. She was going to have to eventually work this all out in her head, but right now, she wasn't able to do a whole lot of thinking. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She wasn't sure what was driving them, but she wasn't going to say that she could complain much. She was just allowing herself to get lost for a moment. She needed that, to feel none of the outside stress and anxiety.
He pulled away after a moment, taking a moment to brush his fingers just lightly through her hair, before his lips were against hers again in a mad frenzy. Felicity was most certainly in her own version of heaven, though, nearly 3 months ago, she would not have expected heaven to be so chaotic. Everything would fall in to place. She could keep that in mind. She would keep that in mind. It would all work out for them both in the end, regardless of anything else.
